Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Hierdie groefbytjie gebruik sonikasie of "gonsbestuiwing" om stuifmeelkorrels van 'n Rhexia mariana-blom te verkry. Sy gryp 'n helmknop vas en gebruik haar vlugspiere om die blom vinnig te laat vibreer. Deur hierdie besonder energieke proses word die stuifmeelkorrels verdryf. Sommige kort trajekte van die dwalende stuifmeelkorrels word op die foto deur die helder sonlig uitgelig. Rhexia mariana is een van verskeie blomplante (waaronder ook bloubessies) wat slegs deur gonsbestuiwing bestuif word. Hommelbye gebruik ook gonsbestuiwing. Dit is 'n uitdaging om 'n foto van 'n gonsbestuiwende by te kry wat in skerp fokus is.
English: This little halictid bee is using sonication or "buzz pollination" to get pollen grains from a pale meadow beauty blossom. She grabs an anther and uses her flight muscles to rapidly vibrate the flower, dislodging the pollen grains. The process is very energetic and some of the errant pollen grains appear in the photo above as short meteoric trails in the bright sunlight. Meadow beauties are one of several types of flowers (including blueberries) that can only be pollinated via buzz pollination. Getting a sharply focused image of a buzz pollinating bee can be a challenge. Bumblebees also use buzz pollination.
